Agree with this.

I’d rather actually we used postfix notation as that not ambiguous at all. I would like a modern “dc” written in Go if I’m honest. With engineering units, BCD decimal arithmetic, blackjack and hookers.

Actually if there was a postfix notation spreadsheet with that capability it would be an interesting tool.

Isn't Emacs calc-mode what you're asking for? You can use it as a stand-alone application even if you don't use Emacs for anything else.
That’s like going to Japan to eat sushi. I’d rather make it at home :)
Sushi is very easy to make compared to replicating calc-mode.

It's more like going to Japan to ride a Japanese train. Would you rather build a full-scale replication in your back yard?

True but sometimes we do things for the journey :)
